Blue Rose Tattoo
Rose tattoos are not only popular among womenfolk, but also with the
menfolk. As a matter of fact, rose tattoos top the list of tattoo designs. People have always chosen to get these designs tattooed for a very long time. One reason, which makes the rose tattoo very popular is the symbolism attached to it. Roses are synonymous with love. From the ancient times, roses have had many meanings apart from love attached to them. These rose tattoos can be made in different colors, such as red, pink, blue, black rose tattoo, etc. In this article, we will read about the blue rose tattoo.
According to the ancient Greeks, the first rose is said to be created by Chloris, the Goddess of flowers. The Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, gave beauty to the flower and Dionysus, the God of Wine gave the intoxicating fragrance to the flower. Due to this, the rose flower symbolizes beauty, love, intoxication and death. The thorns add a hint of sorrow and danger to the flower. Hence, it is seen as a perfect symbol for human condition.
The most common meaning attached to a rose tattoo is that of beauty. For a number of tattoo aficionados, a rose represents both inner as well as outer beauty. If thorns are present on the tattoo, it simply means, that the person does not place a lot of emphasis on the outer beauty and is only concerned about the inner beauty of the person.
Everlasting love is the other meaning attached to the rose tattoo. For these people, a thorn along with the rose tattoo means – ‘you can look, but cannot touch the object of beauty’. A thorned rose tattoo can also be reminder of the fact, that love comes in a package, as you will have to make certain sacrifices for your love. This caution is often used, when the person is falling in love. It can also mean that love does not come without risks and the ecstasy attached to love will only come by enduring certain amount of pain and agony.
The meaning of the blue rose tattoo is a fascination for some people. It can also be seen as a fantasy and impossibility. This can be due to the fact that blue roses, do not exist in nature at all. The so called blue roses are actually either lavender roses or white roses, that are dyed in the color blue. To some people, a blue rose tattoo represents a hope for a miracle and that new possibilities are yet to come, and that they can come. You can read more on rose color meanings.
